1 1/2 c. crunchy peanut butter
3/4 c. butter, softened
4 c. Raisin Bran cereal
2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tbsp. shortening
12 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix peanut butter and butter in large bowl. Stir in cereal, add powdered sugar in 3 parts (mix will be dry). Press mixture firmly into 9 x 9 x 2 inch ungreased pan. Heat shortening over low heat until melted. Add chocolate chips and continue stirring until chips are melted. Pour over cereal mixture and smooth out.

Refrigerate about 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Remove from refrigerator and let sit 10 minutes before cutting into squares. (Use a warm knife to avoid breaking chocolate topping while cutting.) This is very rich, cut into 36 portions.
